STRYPER's MICHAEL SWEET: Video For 'Coming Home' Solo Track

"Coming Home", the new video from Michael Sweet, frontman for the Chiristian hard rock band STRYPER, can be seen below. The song is taken from Sweet's new full-length solo album, "I'm Not Your Suicide", which sold around 2,900 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 154 on The Billboard 200 chart.

The future remains bright for Sweet, who has endured heartbreaking tribulations throughout his life and career, including the 2009 passing of his wife of more than 22 years, Kyle. In 2010, Sweet remarried to Lisa Champagne-Sweet, a woman he describes as "a Godsend and the one who fits perfectly by my side."

Sweet continues to record and tour with STRYPER, as well as touring and recording as a solo artist, all the while making frequent trips to Nashville where he is writing with some of the biggest music writers in the business.

"After 30 years in this business, I feel honored and blessed to be able to continue doing what it is I love, making music," said Sweet.

"I'm extremely thankful to have the greatest fans in the world.

"God has blessed me with this talent and I plan to continue on this path as long as I can draw breath."
